The Forgotten Village

Herbert Kline, Alexander Hackenschmied

Guided by Steinbeck’s ‘elastic story’, Kline and Hackenschmied (Crisis) craft an ethnofictional docudrama, working with a Mexican pueblo’s inhabitants to enact the tale of a young boy’s conversion to modern science, after disease afflicts his traditional community.
